Service Policies

Middle Tennessee Natural Gas will make free service calls, within certain broad guidelines, on customer appliances connected to our mains. Every effort will be made to answer all calls in a timely manner and in most circumstances, during regular business hours on the same day. If parts are needed to complete the repair, the parts will be ordered from the manufacturer and installed at the customer's request and with a charge for parts and labor. Service requests involving equipment and appliances installed by MTNG will be given priority.

New Service Line Policy

In general, MTNG will extend up to 300 feet of service line to serve a residential customer. Service lines longer than 300 feet or installations that do not provide sufficient connected load require aid in construction to cover excess installation cost. Sufficient connected load is defined as appliances that use natural gas for air conditioning, primary home heating (central systems and/or vented space heaters) and/or other appliances that provide sufficient year-round load to justify the investment (one or more of the following: water heating, cooking equipment, or clothes drying).

New Main Line Policy

In general, MTNG will extend up to 400 feet of main line to serve a residential customer. If the total main line footage per customer exceeds 400 feet or the estimated installation costs are excessive, the customer(s) may secure service by paying the excess installation cost and/or entering into a Gas Line Reimbursement Agreement. The Gas Line Reimbursement Agreement provides that, within certain guidelines, MTNG will reimburse the customer(s) making payment for additional customers added to the same line within a three year period.

New Home/Apartment Program for Builders (Licensed/qualified builders and individual home builders on own premises)

A “New Home Builder Credit” is available for the purchase of 30, 40, 50, 75 gallon, and tankless natural gas water heater provided the new home also uses natural gas as the primary heating source.

Renovations and additions do not qualify as new home construction.

To qualify for this program, a contractor/builder must also comply with state licensing requirements. An owner building his/her own premises does not have to be licensed and qualifies for this program
